What to do with smoked mackerel for breakfast?
-
nloai001 I usually have smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel (or toast). Maybe your smoked mackerel could be a good sub for the smoked salmon?
-

annefood Love those ideas @nloai001 @darkchocolatepeanutbutter ! It could also be good with scrambled eggs.

Throw them away or "gift" them to someone else when you end up or someone else's house (As long as they aren't open yet).

That's always hard. I struggle with the same problem. But I just have to remind myself what I want more. I want to be healthier and my body will feel awful afterwards
